The Bruins added to their goaltending depth Wednesday, signing Jeremy Smith to a one-year, two-way contract.

Smith, 25, will be paid $550,000 at the NHL level and $80,000 in the AHL.

With Niklas Svedberg projected to back up Tuukka Rask in Boston this season, Smith could pair with Malcolm Subban as the goalie tandem in Providence. The Bruins needed another body as Adam Morrison recovers from hip surgery and will need time to get back up to speed.

A second-round pick (54th overall) of the Predators in 2007, Smith has been a career minor-leaguer. He played three seasons in Nashville’s organization, mostly with the Milwaukee Admirals of the AHL, then signed with the Columbus organization last summer. Playing for the Springfield Falcons, the Dearborn, Mich., native went 21-14-3 with a 2.78 GAA and .898 save percentage.
